Santa Fe High School, Class of 2023
“I was so grateful and overjoyed to receive the Promise scholarship. Paying for college has always been a worry of mine, especially coming from a lower middle-class family. This is just one less burden I must carry on my educational journey. If I hadn’t received it, I wouldn’t even be able to pursue my basics, let alone a four-year degree eventually.”

Dickinson High School, Class of 2022
“What I like about the scholarship is that it’s a tool that will be there for you whenever you need help financially. It will help with your classes, your textbooks, and it will take some stress off your shoulders. Obtaining my associate degree also helped me complete my prerequisites for nursing school and with the Promise scholarship, I have achieved that.”
